I’m very excited about my upcoming solo show at the Meridian<\/span> Gallery, 535 Powell Street, SF <\/span><\/strong><\/span>(map<\/a>), 7:30pm, Wed 11 Jan<\/span><\/strong>…<\/span><\/p>\n

… especially since it will the first peek out of the tent for some laptop\/MSP work I’ve been developing using the tools of of warped time.<\/p>\n

This work will be part of a laptop-assisted piece refracting Miles Davis through linguistic theory: So What: Surface Structures #2<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Circling the solar furnace of the piano (in rather irregular orbits\u2026) will be other instruments like Indian and Middle Eastern percussion, harmonium, voice, and MSP (laptop).<\/p>\n

Besides jazz time-resynthesis, I’ll do some Indo-modernist and “Neo-Gaku” pieces inspired by the musics of India, East Asia, and the post-war European avant-garde…<\/p>\n

… like pieces composed in non-traditional r\u0101gas (e.g., the same tone rows used in Stockhausen’s “Mantra” or the “All-Interval Hexachord” of post-WW2 composers), developed in Indian forms.<\/p>\n

A new frontier here is an invented “meta-r\u0101ga” \u0930\u093e\u0917<\/strong> <\/strong>\u092e\u094d\u092f\u0949\u092c\u093f\u0909\u0938<\/strong> <\/strong>\u0915\u0941\u0902\u0921\u0932\u093f\u0924<\/strong> <\/strong>\u0935\u0915\u094d\u0930\u0924\u093e<\/strong> <\/strong>\u092c\u094b\u0927\u093f\u091a\u093f\u0924\u094d\u0924<\/strong> (R\u0101ga\u00a0M\u00f6bius Helix Bodhicitta<\/em>)<\/strong>, whose serial scale steps (which can be functions or procedures as well as pitches) trace a spiral in multiple dimensions of musical sound. I’ll do an \u0101l\u0101p in this meta-r\u0101ga which has been very popular in my gig at Viracocha.<\/p>\n

Rounding out the show will be some quite unusual short pieces from a modernist project based on Southern Italian folk songs (Canzoniere 8<\/em><\/strong>\u00bd-centesco del futuro<\/em><\/strong>), “Neo-Gaku” transmigrations of traditional East Asian pieces like \u967d\u95dc\u4e09\u758a (3 Variations on Parting at the Yang Pass<\/em><\/strong>), and, time permitting, a traditional r\u0101ga from my recent album Turquoise Sessions<\/span><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

For more info, see: http:\/\/www.meridiangallery.org\/en\/concerts.htm<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It will be a great pleasure to play the fantastic, focused space of the Meridian, and I hope to see you at this show!<\/p>\n
